Bus Unions To Serve Strike Notice

30 August 2016

Trade Unions are expected to serve strike notice on Dublin Bus today. It's reported drivers will walk off the job for six days in September amid the long running row over pay. It comes after workers rejected a Labour Court recommendation of pay increases of 8.2 per cent over three years - drivers say they want pay parity with Luas workers - who negotiated increases of approximately 18 per cent earlier this year. The Irish Times reports the stoppages will involve up to three 48 hour stoppages across the next month.
